t-shirt idea for fall gathering, using the Take the Big Bite

A long runout to the first protection, followed by a nice traverse, chimney and puckering face moves to the finish. Photo by Jenny (manat315) and Brody on belay.

Me "cheating" over the slab climb to hit the face of "Last of the good guys"

Not the sexiest profile shot but typical of this season, so far - following Chris's bold leads up harder and harder stuff - happy to have the belay and the tailwind on my side . . . I think this is right before I FINALLY got my hooks onto the headwall, which succombed to my charms in the end. Another one I look forward to leading . . . on a very good day!

Yours truly seconding berkly's redpoint of Last of the Good Guys at the fall gathering. This was the crux for me, getting onto the headwall itself. I'll spare you the details but I finally made it up, and the vert section is SWEET. Nice lead, Chris!

This has to be my favorite climb so far at Quartz. I did fall but the climb was so cool. I look forward to the day that I can lead this route, or even finish it.

Spivy doing a great job leading Last of the Good Guys as the sun sets Saturday at the 2005 Spring Fling. Although he was scared, he did a great job and didn't fall. This part of the climb (after the mantle) involves a 10 foot run-out to the next bolt and can be very intimidating.

Mark Herndon took this shot of me on Wild Child in Feb. 04. Thanks for the nice pic Mark!

I'm not sure who the climber was but certainly one of the Oklahoma hard men. At 5.12 Master's Roof looks pretty crazy. Photo was taken by my friend Dave at the Quartz Fall Gathering.
